What are some product categories where the mainstream option IS the best option? (programming.dev)

I was eating some chocolate when I imagined a world where Hershey's was widely accepted, even by elitists, as the best chocolate.

Is consumer elitism just a facade for pretentious contrarians? Or are there things where even most snobs agree with the masses?

Also, I mean that the product is intrinsically considered to be the best option. I'm not considering social products where the user network makes the experience.

Edit: I was not eating Hershey's. Hershey's being the best chocolate is a bizarro universe in this hypothetical.

Hershey in a sentence with "chocolate" without a negation? This is weird.

When someone offered me a piece of Hersheys "chocolate" ages ago I spit it out and asked if this is perhaps spoiled. No, it wasn't spoiled, this stuff actually tastes vile. I don't know how Americans can stand this stuff...
